Muhammad Ali in Keaney Gym, 1971

April 15, 1971

Reporting on Ali’s appearance in The Good 5 Cent Cigar (April 21, 1971), Steve Cheslow ’72 wrote, “Ali now speaks in a subdued tone; but his words hit the crowds just as lightning-quick jabs hit his ring opponents.

One of my sisters was at URI in '71. I'll have to ask her if she went.

I saw
Gerry Rubin, Bernadette Devon, Yablonski not Joseph but maybe his son, and Rod Serling. I saw maybe Abbie Hoffman around 1985 in Edwards Hall, can anyone substantiate that?
